Outstanding build. The Victor, and to a certain extent, Vulcan, have such complex shapes and curves that masking and painting can be a real challenge. You've accomplished this task admirably. Very well done. 👍
@StyreneModelersHaven I've got all three 'V' bombers in the stash waiting for me to find the courage to start them. This has pushed me over the edge, I must have a go. I've been to the RAF museum at cosford and stood next to all three. Awesome history.
Probably the best example I've seen on the Tube. I'm kinda not an underpainting kinda guy but in this case you have me questioning my thoughts. I have been a Victor just like this at Duxford Air Museum. The paint on the real one is very uniform and flat. Capturing reality on a model is perhaps rather boring though? I love the blacked out screen too, perfect for this model . 😀
Very nice build. I worked on the Victor when I was in the RAF, so this video brings back some nice memories. Not to be pedantic, I noticed you say the top 'pods' were fuel tanks. They are actually called Whitecombe Pods, or Kuchemann 'carrots'. These pods were originally fitted to carry 'chaff'. When they became redundant, the pods were left in place as they didn't affect the flight character of the aircraft.
What a beast and it looks really good. Since I live in a small flat I'd snap one up if it came in 1/144 otherwise I'd be running out of room real quick.😁
A very nice and descriptive build, I've always liked the Victor ever since I first saw the prototype flying over North Watford when I was a lad. It just had that futuristic look. I heard the prototype actually went supersonic in a swallow dive, the RAF's first supersonic bomber. Back then, I always wished someone would make a model of the Victor, but nobody did except Matchbox, but by then I wasn''t making models, having drifted away from modelling. Then Airfix tooled this new model and I must admit I was very tempted but these days I don't really have the space etc to justify getting one, but it's good to see the Victor again as it's still one of my all time favourite aircraft, and it's British. Thanks for the build review and re-awakening some memories.
Great build and new ideas, , that's one difficult camo scheme. I have seen the air vent video and used it several times. Definitely good techniques, now if we could really build a kit in 23 minutes. This and the Vulcan are two of my favorite aircraft combined with the Mosquitoes Cheers from the colonies
I think I was about 12 years old, living in a german "fightertown", walking by the cemetry in town when I heard something of a rumbling jet sound never heard before, looking up. My eyes wide open I saw a UFO? No, a not more than 1000 feet hi Victor came in on a simulated low level bombing run I guess, cause the course was completely off the runway but in direction to the middle of the base (and there was no accident also :) )
very easy way to mak the samlines tak valejo putty smir it on the line tak a cottonstick mak it weath and driv carfull medium fast over the seamline and you will be surpriced how easy this works ! witout sanding.
Do Airfix not include the retractable air intakes on the upper fuselage just forward of the fin, these are normally in the open position when the aircraft is on the ground.
I never did apply a wash on the cockpit but when do, I use a wash made from oil paints. If you watch my MYRT build video, I do a fully detailed and weathered cockpit in that video and I break down the process.

Thank you very much!
What an amazing warbird
Jaw droppingly beautiful build. Brilliant. More please...
Thank you! Currently building and recording my next video full build!

Stunning build of a fabulous kit of a beautiful aircraft. Thank you!
My pleasure!

Thank you for the high praise! So glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you! I did not know that about the tanks. Love when I can learn from people that actually worked on these aircraft.
Really enjoyed this channel very informative . Every days a school day even if your experienced .im a subscriber now thanks 🙏

Space is an issue for me as well. Thank you for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it and that my video invoked some fond memories.
Love that pour technique. It looks great. Stunning build. 👍👍
Glad you like it!
Gonna hafta get me some of that pin-striping tape. Hope I can find some locally. Just another awesome build.
Thanks Frank! I always enjoy your posts on FB.
Cool build! The pinstripe tape looks interesting. I haven’t been too impressed with Tamiya’s vinyl tape. Take care! Drew
Thanks 👍
Perfect build 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Thank you.
monster of a airplain ! mean !. ^^

Love your reply! It model builders like you that keep me making these vids!
Suggestion..keep the cockpit but install some lighting, simple or extravagant.
Thanks for the tip

They do but I love the lines of the victor and didn't want to have too many parts breaking up the lines of this beautiful aircraft.
Thank you for sharing. What brand/color wash are using for the cockpit at the early part of the video?
I never did apply a wash on the cockpit but when do, I use a wash made from oil paints. If you watch my MYRT build video, I do a fully detailed and weathered cockpit in that video and I break down the process.
@@StyreneModelersHaven thank you; I was referring to the Wash at 2:20 of the video.
